Teacups are not a breed of any dog....it is simply a slogan. Smaller yorkies can be healthy same as larger yorkies can be ill. The size doesn't for sure mean either way. Smaller yorkies are more delicate and you have to be MUCH more careful. If you worried you can always find a breeder that is willing to test their babies before sending them off or checking their contract to see what and how they would cover it if something was to come up. If they continue to breed smaller and smaller and smaller that can create a problem too. |
Daisy will be 1yr. old Dec. 17th. She is 2.6lbs. I have never had any health issues with her yet. Knock on wood. I have had health issues with my other one who is 6lbs. I don't size determines health problems, but I know I have to be watchful over Daisy. |

First there is no such thing as a teacup yorkie. It is an advertising ploy set out by unreputable breeders to obtain more money from the unsuspecting/uneducated public. Reputable breeders will not sell these wee ones, but place them in qualified homes that are very aware on the care they require. No, not all are unhealthy. Unhealthy can exist in anysize yorkie, very dependent on the breeder's breeding practices. However, reputable breeders do not breed for tinies, but they can happen, just as an oversized yorkie can happen. In addition no reputable breeder will ship these wee ones. Even a reputable breeder who tests for all the genetic problems that may exist.....you cannot know if a a pup only has one kidney, or other internal issues that cannot be determined unless surgery is performed. That is why reputable breeders do not sell them....they don't want to sell heartache. Placing them in qualified homes that understand that they may incurr vet bills. |

Good luck in your search.:) |
There is no such thing as a Teacup Yorkie-they are bred too small to be healthy. Just as adult humans should not weigh 75 pounds, an adult Yorkie should not weigh less than a standard amount. Their organs become too small, their bones are tiny and weak, and they suffer. Do not buy what an unethical breeder calls a "Teacup" Yorkie! |
So, does anyone know of any responsible reputable Yorkie Breeders in The Bay Area/Northern California? Its scary looking through the paper and seeing Yorkies advertised for sale at only 8 weeks old when a responsible breeder would'nt let them go until they were 12 weeks old! Its a shame that people don't care more about animals!:( |

Reese is almost 10mths old and she weights almost 3.5lbs, she is healthy thanks god. Other than when she gets an upset tummy from icky stuff that she puts in her mouth. |
"Teacup" Yorkies:TOO SMALL! Normal, healthy Yorkies are tiny enough. Don't push it. Minimum of 4 pounds for adult Yorkies. Less than that and they have problems - their organs are too small. Would you want a 74-pound adult human? NO!! |

Avoid "Teacup" Yorkies! Healthy, Normal Yorkies Weigh 4 Pounds or More! We love Yorkies because they are tiny...but would you approve of a 74-pound, adult human? Adult Yorkies need to weigh at least 4 pounds to be healthy. DO NOT BUY TEACUP YORKIES. |
